Don't use combo2 for damage. It's not that great at it for it's cost. Combo2 has a much better use that most people don't know about...it's a buff buster.
This has been tested, if you don't believe me, try it yourself. It's not 100%, but, if fighting a doctor/entertainer buffed opponent, knock em down and use combo 2 once or twice. If it works you'll knock their buff right off one of their bars. As I said I have tested this with another TK. We got buffed and took turns combo 2'in each other and we were able to knock the buffs off each other.
Great PvP tactic. Most people don't know this about combo 2, so when you do it to them, they'll accuse you of cheating. Just smile and hit the deathblow and feel great about being a TK!

don't even bother to go for anything else than mind.
in the end minddamage is the only thing that really hurts.
maybe use combo1 that going on health and mind.
but i recommend to test for yourself^^

I have never heard about this before. Are there any posts that talk about it? or is it one of those dirty little secrets? In buffs...do you mean doc buffs?

unarmed head hit
if they have no armor or buffs then go ahead with unarmed hit 3

There is no single TKA move you should use exclusively. All of them have they're purpose depending on the situation...
dunno about the combo moves though never found a good use for them.
Sry folks pvp isn't all about unarmedheadhit.It's aboutdoing whatever gets you the kill the fastest. And with the advent of 80% kinetic helmets and uber mind buffs unarmedheadhit is not always the answer. There are quite a few people out there that don't bother to think about 80% kinetic when it comes to they're legs. Sure people can use stims undo all your damage in one shot...... but nowadays there are people that don't have medic, putting all 3 ham bars up for grabs.
When you as a TKA defile pvp down to 1 or 2 specials.... you put yourself at great disadvantage. You in essence throwout most of your combat skills.
If your pvping as just a TKA, and not using at least 80% of your specials given to you from novice brawler to master, your not doing it right.
Unarmedcombo is the only special in all of Unarmed that I have never bothered to use in PVP.

I think it's better to vary on your attacks, not just spam one attack, i usually try and knock them down first obviously, and against a buffed target i attack the mind with headhit1, but I suggest getting master first

I generally try and land intimidate and unarmedstun1, followed by unarmeddizzy and a unarmedlunge1. Equip the 230 damage poweredupvibroknuckler and wail away with a few unarmedhit3s and attack what ever pool is damaged by those with leghit or headhit or bodyhit.

keep all the target specific attacks, like mindhit, bodyhit, etc.. equipped when you're pvping in a group. If you're with a fencer, it helps lots to attack body with him etc.. but exclusively, I end up using mindhit1, no knuckler to unarmoured, and knuckler to armoured.. but then again, you have your other skill points to spend on, unless you'd like to use TK exclusively for pvp Oo

I tested unarmed combo 2 last night on a fully buffed guildmate... It doesn't do anything special at all, doesn't remove buffs or anything, the damage isn't even worth while. Maybe it was bugged before. If there were an attack thatknocked buffs off people, I think we'd have even more nerf whiners here...

hawk, i think ur fooling urself with the "use only 2" specials theory, ye combo2 does rock in pvp since it arent a random hit, and combined with u2 u can get lucky to get one bar down pretty fast, but, ur opponent are hitting u aswell, and intimidate and stun are pretty nice to have, so is kd2 and lunge, on the mind hit, combo2 drains the mind as fast as the unarmedheadhit anyway, but putting it down to 2 moves in pvp pretty will make u loose any fight u have against an equal opponent if he's just a bit smart er than u and sticks on an intimidate or stun.
